Is anyone else watching BBC breakfast?? I'm struggling not to throw the tv out of the window!!
There's a woman on there who is a 'size acceptance campaigner' saying that doctors should not tell you you're obese as it's basically not nice and is bullying based on weight. Seriously?!? She says that if she goes to the dr about something else it'll come back to her weight and that she doesn't want to be told that she is obese all the time. To be fair, there are so many obesity related issues that it's hard for it not to. And she is a very large lady so you can see why it would come up. It's your doctor! They have an obligation to talk to you about health issues when you're sitting in front of them and obesity plays a huge part. Saying 'I go to the gym 3 days a week and I'm perfectly healthy' just isn't true. You cannot be drastically overweight and healthy, at the very least youre storing up problems for later. Yes, it's painful when you hear someone finally say 'you've gotten fat' (been there!) but saying your dr shouldn't use the word obese is just ridiculous!
Rant over. Sorry. That made me so angry!!! X
